Since that time he has been j in the service of the Southern Rail? way, ia the Western department. This was his first visit to Sumter in more than a dozen years ago and tbe growth -of the town in that period, have been marvelous, he said. # The machinery for tbe Mutual Ice ?Company plant has been shipped from 3?ew York and it is expected to arrive within a week or less time. Work on the foundations for the heavy ma- ! .chinery and on the factory buildings i is being pushed and the plant will be ? ready to make ice when the season j opens. j Mr. Eugene Hogan bas just: finish-'! -ed harvesting and backing the re? mainder of his crop of ruta baga t-.r- j nips from a two-acre patch on hi^ ?arm on the White's Mill road. Th s *crop of tarnipi is as remarkable io its way as any crop grown in Sumter County dering the past year. The patch was planted in \ngnst and ^early in-September Mr. Hozan b^g-in .thinning out and selling them at his market. From that tim* until now he has sold from $3 io $10 worth efl turnips a day. The turnips, having reached maturity, be ?/at/jer^d vihai was left in the field last w-tk and; whea the job was compb-tad he iou cd that he had between three ano four hundred bushels to b;;nk. The turnips are the largest and finest ever yrov.x \ in snob quantities in thi- vicinity a.-d he will be able to supply the local market with ruta hat-as for some time to come. Some of the turnips vvsigh- : -ed 9f? pounds each, a:;d sis ih"t he ? weigued last wet.k lip'.;:-;,! the scales ! at 40 pcunds. As a money-making | crop Mr. ii iiran is wei! *ati.sried cAitb turnips, tie has not footed up~h?3 re -ceipts i'r:;L!i the sale of turnips, bur he says that ic & mounts to several hun? dred dollars. If the average receipts from salts nave been only ?4 a day h?; would have taken in in toe neighbor? hood of $400 already. If ne has only three hundred bushels on hana and if they are wort li only -$1.50 a bushel-a low estimate-the total value cf the crop from two acres is $850 or ?4'?5 an acre, not counting tnt value of the large quantity of small turnips that has been fed to the hogs and cows on tbe farm. Men are quite as eager as women to cultivate good looks. We know of hundreds of men in this vicinity that are taking Hollistaer's .Rocky Moun? tain Tea.

Tay tor's Lectures. * j The pape rs bave mach to say lately of rive scientific lectures, delivered ? hy Dr. E. O. Taylor, in various parts of the State. The lectures are entitled as follows: 1.

Citizenship in the Light of Christ and Paul. iL, God's Message in Science to Thinking Men Dr. Taylor is Sdid to he author: ty con eerning the matters be discusses. The Greenville people were so much im pressed with him that they arranged I for him to speak in Columbia fur the j benefit of our General Assembly. The Sumter Ministerial Association bas af ranged with Dr. Taylor to deliv? er bis five lectures bere The first will oe delivered in the Kirst Baptist Gbineh, on Thursday evening next, at S oMock. It is boped that arrange? ments caa be made for him to speak in the Opera House, on Sunday afternoon, ac 3 o'clock. Further mention will be made or tba lectures in succeeding iism-s cf this pnper. j The Sumter Motor Club held a meet I inu Monday afternoon, with a large attcdaace of members, for the por j pose uf aisenssiag the bill to restrict I tbe r-se cf the public highways by au ? .:.m(;b:irs, which is now belora the j L-:<: adi ?ure. The bill whicli was in j trodceed in inc House by Representa tiv? ?ir^?-n, a) Lee Uoonty, is in the icrni of an amendment to the law pass? ed la-t year to regulate >ne automo? bil, H ir. thf?r u-e of the public roads, it : >.:?. passed tte Hou--, although tho author of last year's bill oppesed it BS ceo radical and will c- me up in tbe Sen tate within a few nays. The bili, if it shonhi become a lavs-, . iii be & great hardship to owners of automobiles and will seriously inter ; re wirb chem and th ir light ft s cit? izens to use the nub!ic highways in the? pursuit of ihi.ir ordinary business arid avocations. The members ot' the club discussed the Orren bill carefully and thoroughly and it. was decided to take steps to present the antomobilists' side of the case to the Senate and a*k for a fair and square deal. The own? ers of automobiles feel thar ?b citizens and taxpayers they have a right to r?a? nse of the public highways as well as orher citizens and they will ask that this right be not denied them by the adoption of radical and unfair laws that will be tantamount to debarring them from the use of tho roads alto? gether. The annual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce will be a big affair.

Engineer Hammond, of the Gibson train, was taken sick between Elliotts and this city this morning and just as the train was pulling into the yard he fell from his seat to the floor of the cab. The fireman took charge of the engine and brought the train into the station from the swi?.?.. As soon-as the train reached the de? pot Mr. Hammond was lifted from the cab, placed in a carraige and sent to . hi.- hom; . He was semi-conscious, but ! * [?entirely hi ipless when removed from ? [.the engine, but it is hoped that his : ::is :iot of a serious nature. ? -- H KEY CAUSES DEATH. p. ; :; Falls From Atlantic Coast j . >.in While Drunk and is i : Killed. .:.

The ne- ' gre was trying to beat a ride on the passenger train due in this city at S:3< Lane's, was put off when the t: . >i r ped at Brogdon's and he starte- walk to town. About two rr iles this side of Brogdon's he dis :?>. the body and immediately v .- to th? nearest house and report the fact Life had been extinct ff or some time and the body was al . ?ming rigid when discover . The aegro came on into the city and ed his find to the police. Cor . ; . Flowers went out to the ?cen the accident yesterday and held an inquest. The body was is that of J. R. Hill by let which were found in liis pockets. les the letters he had 70 cents in sma ch: ige, an unopened'pint bottie o? . ..-".. y and another pint bottle ri mining a small quantiy of whis? ks y. ' Tin only evidence was that fur \ the wound on the man's ;ood stain on the end of a i . s ; ind the position in which the jhodv was found. It was evi ideni that he had faller head foremost from h e "?rain, probably from i the back - .:. if orm. an? striking his : head on the end of a crosstie was in? stantly killed. His skull was crushed in on the side and top for a space of several inches and the blood stain on the crosstie corresponded with the wound on the head. The jury rendered a verdict in ac? cordance with these facts. The dead man came to town Mon? day morning from Aicolu and got drunk. About noon he was arrested by one of the police and was tried in the Recorder's court for public drunk? enness and c.irrying a concealed weap? on^ viz. a razor, ile plead guilty to the first charge and was sentenced t~ pay a fine of $10 or serve 20 days on the chalngang. Hi~ wire at Aicolu was communicated with at his request and she got Mr. Alderman to tele? phoned that he would ?end a check to pay the fine. Hill was therefore, released as he was sober enough to take care of himself hy that time. In? stead of profiting by his experience he evidently purchased another supply of whiskey and filled up before he boarded t?^e Charleston train, leaving here a: 6:25. lie was seen to board the train and at that time yas not too drunk to take care of himself. It is surmised that he drank more whiskey after getting on the train and that he ... came helplessly drunk and fell from the bacit platform to his dea:li. Well, how about that ordinance pro- J hibiting the throwing of banana peel's i '?a the sidewalk? Might save the city a lawsuit by enforcing ii. Then- is n??t enough milk and hut- ! ter produced in the vicinity of Sumter to supply the local demand and there is a fine opening here fur a w< Il man? aged dairy farm. Milk and butter can be produced ia this section of the South cheaper than in the Xorth and West, hut despite our natural advan? tages nearly ail of the butter con? sumed here comes from the West.

Commissioner E. J. Watson-Immi? gration. Marion Moise-The Sumter Spirit. The municipal campaign has open? ed. The nomination of Dr. Geo. W. Dick for re-election as mayor is the first gun^id the other contestants for municipal honors must of necessity unlimber their batteries forthwith and get into the fray if they would give a good account of themselves. Dr. Dick's administraci?n has been a successful one and in the two years that he has held office the city has grown and prospered in every way as it had done in no similar period in its history. This development and prosperity has not been due to Mayor Dick's initiative nor his undivided efforts, for it has been the result of conditions, yet Mayor Dick has done his share to advance the interests of the city and to accelerate its growth. He has been a propelling force to the progress of the municipal? ity and has helped along the good work instead of being a clog to wheels of progress, as he might have been had he been less progressive and less pub? lic spirited in his official capacity. He has discharged his duty and so far as public sentiment can be gauged he is condemned neither for what he has done nor for things left undone that he should, as mayor, have done. There is talk now of three condi dates for mayor entering the municip? al primary. The more the merrier for the onlookers, but one only can be nominated. i Sumter and the passenger traffic of Atlantic Coast Line have already out? grown the passenger station erected by that railway only three or four years ago. The movement of fertilizers is heavier and earlier this year than ever before and the indications are that a greater quantity will ce used in South Carolina this year than last, which was the record-breaker up to that time. The signs" suspended across the pavements not only interfere with um? brellas and detract from the appear? ance of the business district, but are dangerous, for they frequently fall during "nigh winds. They should be removed. $ Representative W. McD. Green, of Lee county, has introduced two bills in the House that are somewhat reac? tionary. One is to abolish the office of Commissioner of Immigration and the other is to increase the penalty on reckless drivers of automobiles. Mr. Morgan, who introduced the automo? bile bill pass? d last year, d?chires Mr. Green's amendment too radical. The indications are, however, that the bill will pass the House. The Sumter Mo" tor Club had better be looking after the interests of automobilists unless they wish to be practically debarred from the use OL the public highways. A training school for cooks and J house servants conducted in connec tion with an employment bureau, would fill a long' felt vant in this community. Just at this season there is no great scarcity of servants, but there is a dearth of competent ser? va, ?ts. I rom time tr) time there has been a good deai%aid aboul the small wages paid domestic servants, but those who find fault with the wages do not consider the fact that the qual? ity of the servier is on a par with thc wages paid. Xine employers out of ten would gladly nay higher wages if they could by doing so obtain better ser? vice. The average domestic servant works on the prinicpal of doing as lit- 1 tie work as possible and doing that lit- j tie in thc most careless and slip-shod manner. Good service in all lines com? mands good wages the world over. ?mi while poor service is,the most expen? sive sort at any price. ..-*_?~MHHMontap -*~ rta ? -^.T. a soot ? <s ~???} 3RUSS0N OX HIGH L?C?XSE. The Case of Uncompromising Pro?ii .hibit ion isis Again Presented From rite Standpoint of an Ideologist. To the Editor of The State: I have not troubled you for space to say anything on the liquor c.u< stion for Swira- time and though- I oppose what yob advocate, I know you will be fair enough to give me place in your columns for what I now wish to say. ; The question of olacl option, or grant? ing counties, the right to determine by vote whether intoxicating liquors shall be sold for beverage purposes within their limits by dispensary meth? od, or under high license, or not sold at all, is clearly now the most impor? tant subject before our legislature, and the earnest effort is being made "") get all opposing elements to unite, kill the dispensary and enact the local option bill. From a prohibition standpoint the thought naturally arises, what are we to gain by such- a course? Compromise up to the p- e.-ent has been the great stumbling h lock to prohibitionists. If it had not been for the compromise vote in our legislature in IS92 the dis? pensary law would never have been written an our statute books. What now will result if this local option bill becomes law? It will bring at once a desperate struggle in the State be? tween the license men for the license, the dispensary men for the dispensary, and the prohibitionists for prohibition. It is more than likely that Fairfield and Florence with some other counties would sell liquor under the dispensary system; Charleston, Richland and others would sell under the license; while a good many other counties would try to have prohibition. The prohibition counties would become the market for the liquors sold by other counties and in a few years the cry would be raised in the prohibition counties: "If we are to have the evils of liquor selling and the expense of trying to prohibit it, we had just as well sell it." Then we would see county after county, like "the- dog to his vomit," return to liquor selling. Suppose the local option bill does not became law? Then we lose noth? ing, for we have the Brice law under which we can vote out the dispensary without opening the question to the license men. Under the Brice law the question is between the dispensary and prohibition, while under local option it would be between dispensary, 1>7 cense and prohibition. When the question is between the dispensary and prohibition the license advocate will vote with the prohibitionist, but when the question gives an opportunity to vote license, of course, the license man will support his own views. Why then should the . prohibitionists make this compromise and join in the passage of this local option bill when it will only place another antagonist in the field? The desire to kill the dispensary should not lead us astray. I believe the dispensary the devil's best job, but I also believe high license his second best, and we should get clear and stay clear of both. Xebraska is credited with being the first high license State, and Hon. H. W. Hardy, -ex-mayor of Lincoln, com? monly called the father of high li? cense, after nine years' trial, wrote: "There is now no longer any excuse of being deceived as we were. The fraud has been tested and found want? ing. I was first elected mayor of Lin? coln in 1S77 and again reelected at the close of my term. 1 thought at the time I had done a good thing to re? duce the number of saloons from 22 to five, but when I found it did not lessen the curse, I saw my mistake. There are just as many stabbings, shootings, and pounded noses as ever there were; just as many broken homes, crying wives ala ragged chil? dren It is no great consolation to a houseless, hungry, crying wife to tell her that her husband got drunk on high license whiskey. High license is one of the devil's best devices to de? ceive good temperance people. Then to think I was his first agent on earth to start it! Don't you think I ought to J do something to atone for such con? duct?'' Hon. C. B. Slocumb, who introduced and championed the high license bill, and after whom the law was called the "Slocumb law," lived long enough to see the results of the law and gave as his testimony upon his death bed: "I was honest in this matter, but it was the mistake of my life. The law as a temperance measure is an utter fail? ure." Our Baptist convention of Xebraska in Nov., 1 SSS. adopted the following: "We condemn the high license sys? tem of Xebraska as morally wron?;, and a compromise with tin- powex-s of darkness, under which the liquor tra* ric has been fostered and developed until it has become a united and mighty power of evil, and a controll? ing influence in the politics and legis? lation of our State." Xow from the Presbyterian synod cf Xebraska ot" the same year: "Wc have no faith in the cOmprchrise. a ? faith hi license, low or high, in th'' name of God and humanity, we dem: nd that t'a- saleen be ma.ie an outlaw in the State and tho nation. We want fellowship wi;h ii: unfruitful works of darkness. Wc warn no blood money to pay our taxes, and to educate o\jr children. We want no legal enact li im II I ul (I nm III* I ?aju tm iwMMcwwaiiKi ment to protect this national nuisance from the .vengeance of an outragea peopie." . .lt~ -: The following was adopted by 'the Methodist conference , of f Nebraska in ls92: -License laws are the liquor traffics strongest bulwark of defense. They are wrong iii principle and im? potent for good. Wc are unalterably opposed to thc enactment of laws that propose by license taxing or otherwise, to regulate the drinking trafhe. be? cause they provide for its continuance and afford no protection against its ravages." If the foregoing. Mr. Editor, does not convince you of the folly of high license, nothing I can offer will. I think if Dr. Timmerman can recall the correspondence had between us when he was advocating the dispensary bili in the senate and will fairly rea? the thought of his soul, he will say: "It was the mistake of my life." And I also believe that not many years will roll over your head before you can calmly sit down and measuring up the past say: "When I used the powers of a great daily journal to advance high license as a liquor seiling scheme it was the mistake of my life." Joel E. Branson. Sumter, Jan. 26, 1906. Recorder's Court. John Washington, colored, was tried, convicted and sentenced to serve 30 days on the chain gang for stealing several packages of groceries from O'Donnell & Co.'s store Saturday night. Washington put in a plea of being drunk. He said if he took the things he had no recollection of it, that he was drunk and all he remem? bered was that he went into a store to buy some matches and when he came to himself he was locked up in thc guard house. As this was the second offense with the same defense. Wash? ington was given the limit. After the sentence was imposed Washington re? marked, *T reckon I'll hab to stop drinkin' whiskey." Eugene Shaw, a negro girl 18 years old, was tried and convicted on the charge of stealing $3.50 from Adelaide James, with whom she was boarding. The sentence was $10 or 20 days. The fine was promptly paid. Sam Taylor, who stole between $Jx and seven thousand tobacco tags fronx Green's grocery store and was arrest? ed Friday afternoon, has not yet been tried. The tags were worth about $40, but as it is probable that they were stolen in installments it may be neces? sary to try him. on on several different charges of petit larceny, instead of grand larceny as would be the case had the tags been taken at one time* The case is entered on the Recorder's docket for trial. BURNED TO DEATH. ^ Conductor Killed in His Caboose. Train Crew Held Responsible. Spartanburg, January 29.-Conduc? tor Ed Lacy was burned to death this morning, having been caught and pin? ioned in the caboose of a section of through freight No. 54, on the Ashe? ville division of the Southern railway near Campobello. The accident occurred by a caboose of the first section of the freight lea\> ing its string of cars and backing swiftly on a heavy down grade into the second section, which was close on behind. The reason for the caboose escap ng seems a mystery. The cab and three box cars were burned up. The wreck occurred near a small trestle, the other side of Campobello. The conductor was in the caboose when ?t slipped away and backed into the ap? proaching train behind. His body was horribly burned and charred. It was recovered from the burning wreck and carried to Asheville, his home, this afternoon. Xo other member of the crew was injured. An inquest over the body of a child found in a well at Anderson revealed the fact that the child had been killed and the body thrown into the well. Senator Christensen and Represen? tative Lyon o? the dispensary investi? gating committee. and Attorney Klingenberg spent Monday in Charles? ton collecting evidence. Five of the white men charged with defrauding Greenville county by ob? taining pay for work they never per? formed have surrendered and giv^n justiScd bonds. Levan Monument Fund.
